love for Japan: Danny's case



Today I want to share Danny Choo's blog post with you.
I knew his name as an Japanese Anime lover, Otaku, and Jimmy Choo's son living in Japan.  But until today I never knew how he came to Japan from London.

Now Danny is a director for Culture Japan and he even does a host of his own TV show in Japan to introduce Japanese pop culture.
Anyway, I want you to read his blog post "How discovering Japan changed my life," it's very inspiring.

If you ever fell in love with another culture outside of your country, or if you had a hard time to learn foreign language I bet it will bring tears.

I especially love the part that when he came to Japan for the first time he was sitting in Shibuya watching the Hachiko crossing all day long dreaming about living there while listening to the bustling sounds and conversations.  He even recorded the sounds of Shibuya and captured all the hustle and bustle of the crossing including conversations of people.  After he came back to London, he listened to the sound he recorded and it made him feel like he's in Japan.


I still remember the time I was sitting in front of Metropolitan museum dreaming about living in New York.  I'm happy for Danny that he found his dream place to live.
